Rising stars of alt-comedy, Vidya & Mel are excited to bring you GREG – their debut show as a comedy duo made with love (and a little horror) for people named Greg.

Melb Intl Comedy Festival 2025

 

Both Greg and non-Greg audience members can expect an hour of high-octane absurdity, sketch and clown as Mel & Vidya attempt to answer the eternal question: can two women crawl out of their hole and achieve the world’s greatest dream – an hour of reasonably priced alternative comedy??

You be the Greg of that.

Vidya & Mel are multi-award winning performers and writers with a deep love of everything silly and strange.
